New York City is very well known for its skyscrapers and being crowded with people and buses and lights , but imagine New York city without any greenery..... I know you all are wondering what I mean by greenery. I mean the trees . Living in the city like me, people forget how important trees really are and how they help humans everyday . Trees cover over 20% of New York City, there are many different ways trees benefit urban areas such as cleaning the polluted air trees absorbs odors and pollutant gases (nitrogen oxides , ammonia , sulfur dioxide and ozone) the trees take in all these gases and filter the air by storing them in their leaves and letting out fresh oxygen. In one year a mature tree can provide oxygen for 18 people. Can you believe that ?! Trees also cool down the streets and the city.
Research shows that in the last 50 years temperatures have in-
creased by 6 degrees in Los Angeles due to the cutting down of trees in that area. As tree coverage has declined, the number of heat-absorbing roads and buildings have increased.
Did you know a tree can provide the same coolnest you will have if u had on ten airconditioners for 24 hours which mean if you and yours happen to be in a park and you guys are hot the best thing to do is to sit underneath a tree so you can cool your bodies down and it is great for shade. Trees also provide shelter for many animals such as squirrels, birds and insects people should really take interest in trees and try taking care of the trees more because trees do play a big parts in all of our lives . Watering is the most important thing you can do for your street tree. Between May and October, young trees must be watered 15-20 gallons once a week. Polluted and compacted urban soil needs to be cultivated or loosened before watering so the water can reach the tree's roots. It is important to take care of tree's .
Trees are natures water filter's, capable of cleaning up toxic wastes, including explosives, solvents and organic wastes, largely through a dense community of microbes around the tree's roots that clean water in exchange for nutrients, a process known as phytorem ediation.
By using trees to modify temperatures, the amount of fossil fuels used for cooling and heating by homeowners and businesses is reduced. Our City's street trees provide $27 million a year in energy savings.
